It's a fascinating, super technical, and wide-ranging conversation. This podcast episode is eight and a half hours long, meaning the rare podcast you could both fall asleep and wake up to. Among other things, many other things, Elon talks about his admiration for Trump, especially in the wake of this attempt on his life.

Later in the interview, you hear the seeds of Doge. Elon starts musing about how the government is totally broken and how someone needs to go in there and start throwing out all the excessive rules.
